In allier words, the, conslrnol/ion ailords an nhsolnl'eHleznnlighl' fil; of the vulve on its sont.

The. slain of lle Valve nniy he extended lo any desired length lont inorder lo use valves iii places where' a long stein is desired, I providean extension 11 for the stem, having at one end a coupling member 12,secured to it in any suitable manner, as by pin 13, and this couplingmember is adapted to be fitted onto the stein 2 of the valve andconnected with it permanently oi' in a detachable manner, and one suchdetachable expedient is shown as a cotter pin 14 passed transverselythrough holes in the coupling and stem 2.-

Such an extension stein may be of any desired length, so that a valveplaced low down or in an inconvenient position, can be operated from aconvenient posit-ion without stooping. Then an extension stem of anyconsiderable length is thus employed, it is advisable to brace it, andthis may be done by a projection from the valve itself, or from theradiator or other convenient stationary element, but I prefer to mount abracket 15 on the valve stem 2 above or below the gland 1G, and on thisbracket is mounted a rod or other suitable brace' 17, extending fromtheAA bracket at any desired height on'tlie extension stein and havingan eye 18 engaging the extension stein at such elevated point. By thisprovision, the eX- tension stein is held upright and braced againstaccidental displacement.

The hand-Wheels ot radiator valves are ordinarily made of wood oi' othernon-heatcoiiducting substance, secured to the valve stems either byscrews or screws and nuts which are exposed and liable to be run titl'in operating the valves and to be iiialiciously detached. To provideagainst these contingencis and to secure an'econoinical construction, Iprovide the hand-wheel 19, of any material, with a cent-ral circularhole 20, and in this hole is placed a tube or socket 21,

having a false nut or other concealed or ex posed finish 22, and thissocket is secured iii -the wheel by means of a transverse concealed pin23 driven in trai'isversely and the end of the hole plugged as at 24,Fie. 8, or not as desired. This socket exten s below the .wheel and isprovided with transverse holes 25 to receive a pin 26, which passesthrough said holes and through a hole in the exten sion stem. The meansfor connecting the handle to the extension stem may be or any approvedconstruction, but I lprefer to use a pin 26 having an inserted flexibleend-piece 27, 'which afar the pia is hentai may bent down so as tosecure it in osition.

Instead of making this soc ret in oneA integ-ral piece, as shown, and ofbrass or nickel, or other relativelyy expensive metal, I niay make it intwo pieces as shown in Fig. 9, and. in that event the cylindricalportion 28 is of iion, and inserted in it in any suitable way is afinishing cap 29 of brass or nickel or other plated metal.

In either of the forms of wheel attachingr `devices described, I havethe advantage ot simulating the ordinary constructions wher- `ever thatis desired, with the security afforded by the blind or concealedfastening, so that malicious removal of the wheel is discouraged if notprevented.

IVhat I claim is 1. An improvement iii valves, consisting of avalve'steiii and a valve disk thereon, combined with an extension stemcoupled to said disk stein, and a brace t'or said extension stem. 2. Animprovemeiitiii valves, consisting of a valve stem and a disk thereon,combined with an extension stein coupled to the disk stein, a bracketmounted on the disk ste-m bclow the coupling and having a braceextending thence lengthwise of the extension stein and engaging theextension stem at. a dis tance from the disk stem. i

3. In ,a` valve, the combination with a valve-stem, of an operatingwheel having a blind fastening composed of a socket inserted in thewheel from the face side and a coii cealed pin inserted transverselythrough the wheel and socket for connecting them.

4. In a valve, the "combination with a valve-stem, of ahand-wheel, ablind socket f inserted therein from the. face side, a con@ -cealedfastening arranged transversely inthe socket and Wheel for connectingthem, and a flexible pin adapted to be inserted through the'socket hasbeen placed upon the alvef stem. 4 l .Y

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set. my hand this 23d day of AprilI). 1903.
